15 Video Game Stereotypes We're Sick of Seeing Recycled

Stereotypes in video games are still found in rampant abundance, even in these more, supposed, self-aware days.

Tired tropes are the unfortunate result of lazy plotting at best, and at worst, are intentionally pointed commentary on race and gender.

Games like The Last of Us, and the upcoming Transistor, are doing their part to change gender norms in games, and for that we are grateful.
